Another case of outgassing? Mysterious smell reported in western Kentucky and northwestern Tennessee areas by sheriff's office
Authorities in multiple counties in western Kentucky and
northwestern Tennessee reported a mysterious gas-like odor Thursday
morning, but the source of the stench is still unknown.
Calloway County dispatcher Dan Galloway said the Sheriff's Office
received anywhere between 15 to 20 calls of a natural gas smell.
The first call came from the Almo area at about 6:30 a.m. Galloway said Calloway County Fire-Rescue units responded to a residential area to find nothing. Minutes later, firefighters were called to the Dexter area for the same call. By later in the morning, Galloway said reports were coming in from most of the county as well as Marshall, Graves and Ballard counties in Kentucky and Henry and Stewart counties in Tennessee.
"We've talked to sheriffs' offices south of us and they have all reported the smell."
Calloway County Emergency Management Director Bill Call said officials have tested the air in multiple areas county wide to find no unusually high concentrations of natural gas or propane.
